The Style And Glamour Of Celebrity Weddings – The Ladies – Deepika Padukone

Continuing the series on our celebrity brides, we are now moving onto the absolutely gorgeous Deepika Padukone, who is the newest entrant into the world of matrimony. As someone who is extremely rooted in her traditions and family values, Deepika Padukone knew that she wanted all the traditions to be followed. So, before she would exchange her vows with fellow Bollywood celebrity Ranveer Singh, she chose to have a traditional pooja. For this pooja, she chose to look simple and wore an orange kurta with a cream coloured churidar. She matched the outfit with an orange coloured dupatta with a gold border and a small gold print all over.

Like her contemporary Anushka Sharma, Deepika also chose Italy as her wedding destination and kicked things off with a mehendi ceremony. The light pink of her outfit matched the rosy hue that the bride to be had on her face. The outfit had embroidery in the same colour, making the outfit look simple, yet elegant. The edges of the dupatta had a darker shade of pink, and Deepika chose to team it with a similar coloured woollen stole.

For another one of her pre-wedding ceremonies, Deepika chose to go with an off tissue saree in pale gold, over which she wore a dupatta of the same colour and material. She teamed the same with traditional kundan work jewellery and the jasmine garland on her hair bun, completed the south Indian look for her!

Because Deepika is from Karnataka, specifically the Konkan region of Karnataka and Ranveer comes from a Punjabi hertage, there were two types of weddings – one south Indian, and one north Indian. For her south Indian style wedding, Deepika was the quintessential south Indian bride, resplendent in a deep red Kancheepuram saree and designer Sabyasachi gave her a veil in tissue, which also had a gold brocade border. The traditional jewellery and the jasmine flowers on her hair made her look gorgeous!

For her Punjabi style wedding, she was yet again traditional, but this time she was a traditionally Punjabi bride. Yet again, she went with the most bridal colour, red, but this time, it was a deeper red. As is common for Punjabi brides, Deepika also chose to go with gota work, but what made her outfit truly coutoure was the embroidery on her dupatta, which said ‘sada saubhagyavati bhava’ (a blessing of eternal matrimonial bliss). Her look was complete with the traditional red chooda and kaleerey.

And then there was the Bangalore reception, for which Deepika chose to dress up in a stunning pale gold silk saree, the pallu of which, she left long, almost like a train for a wedding dress. It was interesting to note that she chose a full sleeved blouse with the saree, which also had a slightly high neckline. She chose to add colour to the outfit with her red chooda and green emerald jewellery.

Staying Fashionable During The Winter Months Is Not Rocket Science

For a lot of people, winters means that time of the year, when your sole aim should be to wear layers of clothes and concentrate only on keeping warm. For them, this is that time of the year, when you need not be bothered about fashion, because the ultimate aim should be staying warm at all times. However, there is also that set of people, who consider fashion important, irrespective of the weather outside. It is for such people that winters often become a problematic time of the year, because many a times for them, fashion comes at the cost of falling ill. 

What a lot of people do not realise is that staying fashionable even during the winter months is not all that tough – all you need is a little creative thinking and an open mind. As a matter of fact, with just a few new pieces in your wardrobe, you should be able to create multiple new looks for the winters and even rock at weddings or special events with ease. 

Here is what you need to do first:

Look through your wardrobe and locate pieces that you can wear during the winters. This would include top wear that has long sleeves or has been made using material that will work well for the cold months. This could range from tops and tunics to kurtas, kurtis and shirts. You should look for thicker cotton, wool and denim like materials, because these are better are providing warmth and insulation for the body. 

Step two would be to look at the lowers that you will be able to utilise for the winters – jeans would be the most obvious choice, but you can always look for trousers, leggings and even skirts. While most people would think that jeans, trousers and leggings are sensible choices, many would wonder about using skirts at this time of the year. However, if you are willing to experiment, you could always team your skirts with dark coloured tights or leggings and this will offer you style as well as comfort. 

Now, here is what you will need to shop to make sure that your wardrobe is prepared for the winters:

The one thing that you will need to invest in would be some warm clothes, such as sweaters and jackets. Your creative eye and your style sense will come into play here, because you can look for smart jackets and sweaters that you will be able to mix and match with your existing outfits. Choose jackets and sweaters in neutral colours, as these will work with more outfits. Black, navy blue, grey, beige and white will work great and you can also play with the lengths of the jackets. 

You will need to invest in some colourful and warm stoles, as these are a great way to keep warm and add style to the outfit. Stoles work really well with not just Indian style attires, but also jeans and trousers. As a matter of fact, if you are wearing a monochromatic outfit, a stole is a great way to add colour. 

This is also a good time to invest in some good footwear such as boots – these days, you will be able to find boots of varying lengths, colours and heels. Choose ones that will work with the outfits you have and while you can play around with the heel length, make sure that you pick colours that you will be able to use more than once! 

Sparkle Brighter Than Any Lights, This Diwali!

The moment the Navratri start, Indians know that the festive season for the year has arrived – you have to be dressed in stunning clothes all through the nine days of celebration and you really need to up your game for the last day or Dussehra. Once that is over, you are all set for Diwali, because this is perhaps the biggest celebration of the year (tradition wise)! This is the one time of the year, when you will clean out your home, make it shine and sparkle, make colourful rangolis outside your main door. This is also the time when you string up lights all over your home and make sure that every corner of the house is sparkling. 

However, for a lot of people, this is the time when you meet with all your family members and friends – you enjoy feeding them sweets that you have made with a lot of love, you enjoy the never ending games of cards that you play through the night. And for several people, this is also the time when they can dress to the nines and make memories for a lifetime. When it comes to dressing up, most people will go back to what they know and are familiar with. So, while most women will go back to the traditional silk sarees, most men will go back to the same old kurta pyjama. The reason why this happened was because till recently, there were not a lot of options when it came to traditional wear. Women could choose between sarees and salwar kameez and men could wear a kurta either with a dhoti or a pyjama.

Thankfully, today, we live in a world where fashion has become front and forward and getting your hands on clothes that are trendy has become a lot easier. With a growing interest in fashion, there also arrived a steady crop of fashion designers – while some of them were just average, there were some who rose above the others and established a name for themselves. But the problem was that the clothes designed by these established designers was not accessible to the common person – either they couldn’t get a hold of it in their small towns, or they could not afford the same. This was the revolutionary concept of online shopping emerged and this one seemingly small idea was going to change the world forever.

How The Humble Kurtas Can Give Your Wardrobe A Facelift!

There are a few pieces that you need to have in your wardrobe, because these are clothes that you will be able to mix and match with several choices and create brand new looks, each time. For instance, take the humble kurta – while it might seem like a simple dress, these days, you can find so many different prints and patterns that every kurta you pick up at your local store or online shopping portal, will be different from the other. However, did you know that with just a handful of different kurtas, you could create so many different looks!

• Let’s say you pair a long kurta with leggings, you have an outfit that would be perfect for office or even a day with your friends. You could wear matching or even contrasting coloured leggings to create different looks. What is great about leggings is that you need not wear a dupatta, but you can always add accessories. Wearing makeup could really highlight your outfit for a special evening out. 

• When you team a short kurta with a Patiala salwar, you have a truly ethnic outfit, perfect for any special occasion such as a pooja or a wedding pre-ceremony. When you team a heavy embroidery kurta with a salwar and team it with a work dupatta, you have an outfit fit for any special event. 

• Let’s say you want a casual fun look that you can wear to college or you can wear when you are running around trying to complete all your errands, why not pair a short kurta with a pair of jeans. If you own a pair of distressed or ripped jeans, then a short kurta would work really well, but you can also wear a long kurta with jeans. Short anarkali or flared kurtas work beautifully with slim-fit jeans. You could also try similar looks with trousers, especially 

• For that fun, flirty and truly comfortable look, you could team a short or knee-length kurta with a skirt. What is great about mixing and matching kurtas with skirts is that there are so many options – you can play with the length of the skirts and the kurtas, you can play with the prints, mixing plain kurtas with printed skirts or the other way around. 

• During the summer days, there could be no better wardrobe choice than teaming a cotton kurta with a pair of palazzos. Yet again, you will have multiple choices, because you can team short and long kurtas, sleeveless and sleeved kurtas with palazzos. In addition, you can choose from a range of materials for your palazzos, as well as solid colours, prints and patterns. 

If you are someone who always feels that your wardrobe is so limited, you just need to open up your mind to the possibilities and get creative!
